At least a 2:2 Honours degree (and/or higher degree) or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University, in an acceptable discipline relevant to teaching mathematics (for example, mathematics, joint degrees involving mathematics with relevant curriculum modules, physics, engineering, accountancy, actuarial science, finance, economics or business studies). Degrees in cognate areas may be considered if 50% or more of the modules studied are deemed currently relevant to teaching mathematics. Applicants with numerate degrees in a subject other than mathematics must possess at least a Grade C in A-level Mathematics, or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University, at the time of application.

The cost of studying at Queen's University Belfast varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £20800 annually, to study in Queen's University Belfast.
